>>Over the last 6 months my TSH has bounced between 3.5 and 5.5.  My doctor
doesn't think I am hypothyroid (yet), but I have been diagnosed with
hashimotos.  I have been trying to loose lbs with no luck despite exercise
and diet, and I have been unable to get pregnant.

Should I ask my Dr. again about treatment for hypothyroid?  Am I
hypothyroid?<<

My first visit to the Dr with symptoms of what turned out to be
hypothyroidism showed a TSH of 3.5  I was told I was stressed out.  (6
months later  TSH 15.3 - Hashimoto's)  If you are having symptoms of
hypothyroidism, ask again.  Being in the upper range of "normal" TSH while
exhibiting symptoms is not acceptable - your the one who has to live with
the effects, not your doc.
